"Manning Up" Book Harshly Judges Young Men Going Their Own Way

Kay Hymowitz, author of "Manning Up: Has The Rise Of Women Turned Men Into Boys?" offers her judgments about young men in this interview. She praises the recent advances women have made relative to men. Then she condemns and shames young men which, she says, aren't "grown up" until they are on their own, making the big bucks, married, and having children. In this humble contributor's estimation, what she's saying is "if men aren't doing what women want them to, i.e., following the female dream scenario, then they aren't grown up." I say that these young men are doing what makes the most sense, given the hostile legal and social environment surrounding dating and marriage. More specifically, young men are going their own way, and not doing what the women want them to do. So I receive this interview as a complaint about the fact that men aren't supporting women like they used to do... and women don't like it. Excerpt:

'So the child-man is the young guy who finds himself in this new era of preadulthood and doesn't quite feel himself a man, and is of course not a child, but is still very attached to many of his adolescent pleasures, and hangs out a lot with his bros.'
